Eleven-year-old Benjamin Putter has a lump in his throat, and he’s certain it’s a golf ball. He knows it sounds crazy, but everything’s been topsy-turvy since his father died last month. One day, something starts tugging at Ben, telling him to hurry to Augusta, Georgia --- home of the most famous golf course in the world. As he makes his way to Augusta, Ben partners up with a mysterious runaway named Noni, and they embark on a journey full of strange and wonderful surprises --- and possibly magic --- at every turn.

About the Book
With a fresh, funny voice, lots of adventure and a healthy dose of magic, from the author of THE ACTUAL AND TRUTHFUL ADVENTURES OF BECKY THATCHER and NOOKS & CRANNIES --- which School Library Journal called “original, engaging, and funny” in a starred review --- comes a profound tale of love, loss, and family.
Eleven-year-old Benjamin Putter has a lump in his throat, and he’s certain it’s a golf ball. He knows it sounds crazy, but everything’s been topsy-turvy since his father died last month. And he doesn’t know how to fix it.
Then, one day, something starts tugging at Ben, telling him to hurry to Augusta, Georgia --- home of the most famous golf course in the world.
Ben might be going a little crazy, but escaping Hilltop, Alabama, sounds like a darn good idea. (And just maybe it will make that lump go away.) As he makes his way to Augusta, Ben partners up with a mysterious runaway named Noni, and they embark on a journey full of strange and wonderful surprises --- and possibly magic --- at every turn.
